* - hyperthreading was enabled during the intel tests.
SysMark2002 is more of an extension of SysMark2001
rather then a whole new benchmark. The applications used during
testing have been updated and most importantly for AMD users, the
new SysMark2002 uses the Windows Media Encoder 7.1 which supports the AthlonXP's
SSE instructions.
I
expected the Athlon64 3200+ to score higher than
the P4 3.2C in these benchmarks, but that wasn't to be the case. The P4
does quite well against the older AthlonXP 3200+ though.

Content Creation Winstone 2002 is a system-level,
application-based benchmark that measures a PC's overall performance when
running top, Windows-based, 32-bit, content creation applications on Windows 98,
Windows 2000, Windows Me, or Windows XP.
Business Winstone 2002 is a system-level,
application-based benchmark that measures a PC's overall performance when
running today's top-selling Windows-based 32-bit applications on Windows 98,
Windows 2000 (SP6 or later), Windows Me, or Windows XP. Business
Winstone doesn't mimic what these packages do; it runs real applications through
a series of scripted activities and uses the time a PC takes to
complete those activities to produce its performance scores.
The
Winstone2002 benchmarks are not as kind to the Pentium 4 3.2C. It comes in dead
last but I'm not sure if you'd notice any real world performance differences
between the processors as 2D apps are usually user limited.
